⭐️ Creative Spotlight: Matt Wolfe

  • Dalle-3 is now available in Microsoft's Bing image creator and Bing Chat for free, though with limited credits per day. It appears to be much more advanced than Dalle-2.

  • The video compares Dalle-3 images from Bing to the same prompts in Dalle-2, showing Dalle-3's superior quality and text rendering abilities.

  • Dalle-3 can successfully generate images with multiple characters like SpongeBob and Mario together, which other AI models struggle with.

  • The video demonstrates Dalle-3's photorealism on some prompts, though many images still have a painted/CGI style.

  • Dalle-3 combined with GPT-4's vision model in ChatGPT could allow back-and-forth image alteration, which will be an exciting development.

Use GenAI for consistent characters & styles for storyboards

One of our co-founders, Eric is always creating new content and we thought we should share some of his work below from this week 👇👇

Eric put together this story and created this image for his Star Wars-inspired account. She's a wanderer traveling the galaxy and we think it’s fun to see these creative muscles flexed.

He’s going to start posting "making of" short videos that show his process. We’re excited to share, so make sure you’re watching this space.

Problem: I don’t have time to keep up with all the news 😵‍💫

Industry Insights 🧠

Google Assistant Finally Gets a Generative AI Glow-Up

  • Google announced at its Pixel event that Google Assistant is being combined with capabilities from Bard, its AI chatbot, allowing it to understand images and summarize documents/emails.

  • The new multimodal assistant is limited to trusted testers initially, will be mobile-only, and requires opting in. It can have text/voice conversations about images, webpages, and a user's content.

  • The upgrade brings text and image generation abilities through tools like LaMDA and Imagen, allowing more natural conversations and responses tailored to visuals.

  • Experts say the change brings Google Assistant more in line with Alexa and ChatGPT, but raises questions around data privacy and anthropomorphizing AI.

  • Potential future capabilities include personalized responses based on Gmail data, taking actions like booking flights for users, and connecting images to shopping/product info.

Canva Launches Magic Studio Suite of AI Design Tools

  • Canva launched Magic Studio, a suite of new AI features including Magic Design to generate designs from prompts and Magic Switch to transform slide decks into videos.

  • Magic Grab lets users easily remove elements from images, Magic Animate adds movement to videos, and Magic Morph customizes text / icons.

  • It integrates Dall-E and Imagen for AI image and video generation. Paid subscriptions are required for most AI features.

  • Canva will pay creators over $200 million for using their work to train its AI models, aiming to compensate artists fairly.

  • The goal is to integrate assistive AI seamlessly into Canva's core product experience to automate tedious design tasks.

Definition: Recursive Prompting

Recursive prompting is a strategy for guiding AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4 to produce higher-quality output. It involves providing the model with a series of prompts or questions that build upon previous responses, refining both the context and the AI's understanding to achieve the desired result.
